“Ground Control to Major Tom” – I’m sure, you know the lyrics of David Bowie’s legendary song “Space Oddity”. I would question whether Major Tom would be available on the other side of the line. Not only, because yesterday NASA had to cancel for the third time the launch of the new Artemis moon rocket due to technical problems (I would be curious if they dubbed one of the travelling passenger dummies “Major Tom” – if anyone knows please comment below). But also because this astronaut, depicted on a mural in a restaurant in Genoa we (fittingly) visited last night, sure looks to be offline.
Let’s hope NASA fixes whatever probs they have with the Artemis rocket soon – and then goes on the radio:
“Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may God’s love be with you”

Have a great Sunday!

Love this mural and what you can do with an iPhone! Nice!
An interesting photo, Marcus. Perhaps being cancelled three times means they should scrap this whole space program. 👍🏻
Thanks, John! Although I like space flight (Apollo 13 is my favorite movie) I’m not sure you couldn’t put these billions of tax dollars to better topics….
We sure could, Marcus, Humans need to get their stuff straight before spending too much on space. Just an opinion I’ve held for a while now.
